The document discusses assessing an organization's culture and readiness for implementing an evidence-based practice project to prevent CLABSI in a NICU. An organizational assessment tool was used to evaluate readiness. It found strengths like leadership support but also weaknesses such as lack of time and EBP knowledge. The author recommends strategies to improve readiness like recognizing top performers and aligning with available resources. Key stakeholders for the project include nurses, doctors, patients, and insurance companies. Information technologies could help implementation and care delivery if integrated properly.

The concept of a knowledge worker
The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by Peter Drucker. Ducker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services (CFI, 2019). He emphasized that due to the high level of productivity and creativity of knowledge worker, that they would be the most valuable assets in the 21st century organization. Professionals that can be referred to as knowledge worker includes engineers, pharmacists, architects, financial analysts, public accountants, physicians, scientists, design thinkers, and lawyers. Furthermore, knowledge workers have a high degree of expertise, experience, education and the primary purpose of their jobs involve the distribution, creation and application of knowledge.

Nursing Informatics
Nursing Informatics is a subset of informatics, specific to the nursing field and the role of the nurse in the healthcare setting. There has been several interpretation of nursing informatics. The American Nurses Association (ANA), identified nursing informatics as a specialty that integrates nursing, science, computer science, and information science to manage and communicate data, information, and knowledge in nursing practice (ANA, 2001, pg.17).

Nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
A nurse leader is one who inspire others to work together to achieve a common goal, for instance enhanced patient care or satisfaction. All nurses are called to nurse leadership, however there are different levels of nurse leadership. Nurse leaders are expected to help the organization to fulfill the organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategies to achieve long-range plans. Nurse leaders part take in policy setting, overseeing quality measures are carried out, accountability for overall quality of patient care delivery, staff satisfaction and organizational outcomes. For a nurse leader as a knowledge worker to be productive in an organization, the nurse leader must understand that knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker, but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker. Having said that, a knowledge worker nurse leader will depend hugely on evidenced based practice to be productive in a healthcare organization. The use of EBP by knowledge worker nurse leader will require learning and teaching. Most healthcare organizations or hospitals rely on evidenced based.

ITS IMPORTANT TO MEET THE COMPETENCES (That's how they evaluate the work).
Nursing within an organization is a critical component of health care delivery and is an essential ingredient in patient outcomes (Kelly & Tazbir, 2014). The concern for quality care that flows from evidence-based practice generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 2: Explain the accountability of the nurse leader for decisions that affect health care delivery and patient outcomes.
(IMPORTANT) -Describe accountability tools and procedures used to measure effectiveness.
Competency 3: Apply management strategies and best practices for health care finance, human resources, and materials allocation decisions to improve health care delivery and patient outcomes.
(IMPORTANT) -Develop an evidence-based plan for health care delivery.
Competency 4: Apply professional standards of moral, ethical, and legal conduct in professional practice.
(IMPORTANT) -Apply professional and legal standards in support of a care plan.
Competency 5: Communicate in manner that is consistent with the expectations of a nursing professional.
(IMPORTANT) -Write content clearly and logically, with correct use of grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and current APA style.

Scenario:
The hospital where you work has an issue with increased readmissions within 30 days of discharge. After examining the core measures, it was found that heart failure was the most common core measure disease process experiencing the highest rate of readmissions. The leadership team has given your team the charge of developing a nurse-run outpatient heart failure clinic. The purpose of this clinic is to ensure that discharge education is presented to the patient in an orderly, consistent manner and complies with evidence-based practice protocols. Since these patients may be discharged from a variety of areas in the facility, having the heart failure clinic staff take ownership of the process will improve both consistency and compliance. There are cardiologists that interact with the staff and patients, but the day-to-day operations of the clinic are designed and supported by the nurses as they interact with appropriate members of the other health care team disciplines promoting the best care for the heart failure patients.

1: Aggression and Violence
Aggression is, “an act or behavior that intentionally hurts another person, either physically or psychologically” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 389). While some expressions of aggression are universal, cross-cultural differences exist in the type and level of aggression that are considered to be legally or socially sanctioned. There have been multiple reasons proposed by theorists to explain these cultural differences in the type (verbal, physical, etc.) and level of aggression expressed across cultures.
For this Discussion,review this week’s Learning Resources. Select a culture and consider how this culture expresses aggression.
With these thoughts in mind:
a brief description of the culture you selected. Provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive by culture you selected and explain why. Then, provide an example of a behavior that may be perceived as aggressive across most cultures and explain why. Finally explain how socially sanctioned violence is acceptable within certain cultures. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

“Not only do people bolster beliefs in their ability to control in response to successful control of an event but also they hold an unwarranted belief that they can control chance events,” states Yamaguchi (Matsumoto (Ed.), 2001, pp. 226–227) in the course text. While members of all cultures have the goal of protecting self-image following failures, differences exist among cultures in terms of the attributions made for the failure and success of a task. Thus, while the self-serving bias is universally applied, the specific attributions made differ cross-culturally. In some cultures, it is assumed that failure is attributable to situational factors while others assume dispositional factors.
Differences also exist in how the failure or success of another individual is attributed. Consider the relevance of attributions for success and failure for the scholar-practitioner working in a multicultural environment or in a global company. How would knowledge of how individuals’ attribute their own or others failure impact a team, classroom, or organization?
For this Discussion, imagine that a group of business people from two different cultures (one from a collectivistic culture and another from an individualistic culture) work together on a business project, and at the end, the project fails.

2.1 Project
Write approximately one paragraph that describes the action research project and the basis for it being addressed.
The action research project seeks to explore pertinent leadership effectiveness issue created by the healthcare reform process in healthcare institutions across the United States. The reform process has created a dynamic environment that is in constant flux. Essentially, healthcare reform institutionalization has proven to be very beneficial when it comes to reducing the rising cost of healthcare. Additionally, it helps ensure that effective delivery of primary care is achieved so as to diminish the prevalence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiac-related health problems. The shift towards preventive care for the reduction of chronic illnesses requires more engagement between the patients and the doctors and closer follow-ups of patient outcomes. This requires effective leadership when it comes to the creation a workforce that is responsive to long-term patient needs. This means the healthcare professionals such as the physicians and nurses need effective leadership in hospital management so as to ensure they are motivated and engaged in the change process through teamwork and partnerships within hierarchical structures. Nonetheless, the purpose of this action research is assess Micheal E. DeBakey VA Medical Center of Houston’s leadership so as to provide a leadership model that includes the most appropriate leadership qualities that can be adopted by the organization to create a dynamic healthcare environment. Essentially, the action research project will involve a qualitative analysis of case studies related to leadership mechanisms within the institution and how they influence employee and patient outcomes. Based on the findings of the studies conducted, the possibility of using the proposed leadership model to improve outcomes will also be gauged. Comment by Nita Stika: What example would you use to demonstrate how this is true? Comment by Nita Stika: Management, observation or as Dr. Z suggests. Comment by Nita Stika: To assess Comment by Nita Stika: Current administrative structure so as to construct a leadership model that includes the most compatible qualities to be adopted?

SMART GOAL
Leadership SMART Goal Leadership goal Setting a goal is important since it really gives clarity to a person’s vision. A goal specifies the outcome of what one wants to accomplish (Jay, 2011). Developing a SMART leadership goal ensures that one’s goal is actually focused and offers a clear idea of what one wants to accomplish. In essence, a goal that is SMART makes it simpler for one to come up with pertinent activities, to measure his or her progress towards accomplishing the goal, and know when he or she has met his/her goal (Jay, 2011). For me, setting a SMART goal will make what I want tangible since I am declaring to myself that this is really what I want. Basically, the SMART goal will help me to focus my everyday energy towards making my dreams and wishes come true. My set goal is SMART in the following way: Specific: Haughey (2014) pointed out that a specific goal has to be focused, detailed, and stated clearly. My goal is specific enough; it is to work in interdisciplinary/interprofessional teams by Week 10 (as selected from the Institute of Medicine (IOM)). In these teams, I should be able to work with other professionals to offering the best care available to transplant patients and help the patients before the transplant, during the transplant, and after. To accomplish this goal, I will greet and introduce myself to various health professionals in the Transplant Services Department so familiarize my self with the department and the transplant of patients and cooperate, collaborate, communicate, and integrate care in teams to ensure that care is continuous and reliable. In the future health care system, health professionals will have to understand the advantage of high levels of cooperation, coordination, and standardization to guarantee excellence, continuity, safety, and reliability. In short, they will have to think of themselves as a team working in and contributing to a larger system. As Don Berwick, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, said at the summit, The team members integrate their observations, bodies of expertise, and spheres of decision making. Thus this competency refers to the various disciplines working together to address the needs of patients. Interdisciplinary teams are critical in dealing with the increasing complexity of care, coordinating and responding to multiple patient needs, keeping pace with the demands of new technology, responding to the demands of payors, and delivering care across settings Teams tend to reduce the utilization of redundant or duplicate services, and they also tend to develop more creative solutions to complex problems because of their members’ diverse academic backgrounds and experience. Patients needing chronic care, critical acute care, geriatric care, and care at the end of life require smooth team functioning because of the complexity of their needs. Different means and settings for delivering care, such as managed care, community-based care, rehabilitation centers,.

Summary of Skills
For the development of an organization to be successful and effectively achieve set goals and objectives, strong management and organization skills will be required (Bateman & Snell, 2007). Our Team A brings a broad spectrum of skills and talents coming from life, educational and work-related experiences. Each member of the team possesses unique skill sets that will bring fresh ideas, techniques and creative solutions to challenges in the development of our consulting firm.
A thorough evaluation of our team member’s skills, suggests that our key strengths lie within teamwork and dedication, creating presentations, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques, communication, research, and observations. With these skills, this team will be able to successfully achieve most tasks necessary in the development of a consulting firm. This team will need to use these skills to collaborate efforts in a cooperative manner to create, plan, develop and accomplish the goals of the consulting firm. This evaluation also portrays a strong dedication to learning and improving which is beneficial in the development of new skills that may be needed.
Most members of our team currently have educational and professional experience that proves an intense desire to improve and advocate change and educate communities to collaborate an effort enhancing the lives of individuals. This desire will effectively promote positive changes both within communities as well as at a societal level. The team’s overall commitment is to meet basic human needs through education, focusing on identification of challenges and prevention, as well as assist in overcoming personal and organizational obstacles that individuals may face. Our team is committed to improving the overall quality of life through advocacy and action.
The first type of consulting firm that we could possibly work with would be a human services/independent living consulting program. This program would collaborate with a client’s care givers, doctors and independent care organizations to assist in facilitating a client’s independence and improve or maintain health. This consulting firm would collaborate efforts to create an independent, long-term care plan that will enhance the develop of daily living skills, educate on services and programs available, exercise the right to make healthy living choices, and encourage pro-active involvement of all care-giving professionals in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and participation in the long term care process. This program will improve and emphasis respect and dignity through the promotion of independence.
PLEASE ADD THE OTHER TWO TYPES HERE!
The types of problems these consulting firms might solve.
Inflexible regulatory and legal issues create competitive obstacles human services providers face when offering health services to communities.
· Write an executive summary, 4-5 pages in length, of existing out.docxlillie234567
· Write an executive summary, 4-5 pages in length, of existing outcome measures related to a performance issue uncovered in your gap analysis that you intend to address.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
As a nurse leader, you must be able to access, identify, and describe outcome measures as they relate to safety and quality problems in your organization.
This assessment provides an opportunity to examine existing outcome measures, assess their strategic value, and present your findings to executive leaders in a manner that will help you gain their support.
Quality and safety are everyone's responsibility as a team of interprofessional care delivery partners. Together we develop policies that support quality and safe care delivery. As part of the interprofessional team, nurses are leaders in care and thus are responsible and accountable for leading and providing safe quality care.
Health care delivery is structured around evidenced-based information. Quality is defined by exploring proven, evidenced-based information. After reviewing and defining evidenced-based information, the interprofessional team applies this knowledge to assess the organization's or the practice setting's ability to provide evidenced-based care delivery. When a gap in care is identified, it is important to propose an evidenced-based change and to execute a plan for improved care.
Your summary of relevant outcome measures is based on your findings from the quality and safety gap analysis you completed in the previous assessment.
Preparation
Your analysis of the gap between current and desired performance was the first step toward improving outcomes. You now have the information you need to move forward with proposed changes. Your next step is to focus on existing outcome measures and their relationship to the systemic problem you are addressing. For this assessment, you have been asked to draft a summary of existing outcome measures for your organization's executive team to raise awareness of the problem and the strategic value of existing measures.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center's
Writing Supportpage.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
Building stakeholder support is crucial to fostering and sustaining change. Therefore, as you approach this assessment, think about the stakeholders w.

2.1 Project
Write approximately one paragraph that describes the action research project and the basis for it being addressed.
The action research project seeks to explore pertinent leadership effectiveness issue created by the healthcare reform process in healthcare institutions across the United States. The reform process has created a dynamic environment that is in constant flux. Essentially, healthcare reform institutionalization has proven to be very beneficial when it comes to reducing the rising cost of healthcare. Additionally, it helps ensure that effective delivery of primary care is achieved so as to diminish the prevalence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiac-related health problems. The shift towards preventive care for the reduction of chronic illnesses requires more engagement between the patients and the doctors and closer follow-ups of patient outcomes. This requires effective leadership when it comes to the creation a workforce that is responsive to long-term patient needs. This means the healthcare professionals such as the physicians and nurses need effective leadership in hospital management so as to ensure they are motivated and engaged in the change process through teamwork and partnerships within hierarchical structures. Nonetheless, the purpose of this action research is assess Micheal E. DeBakey VA Medical Center of Houston’s leadership so as to provide a leadership model that includes the most appropriate leadership qualities that can be adopted by the organization to create a dynamic healthcare environment. Essentially, the action research project will involve a qualitative analysis of case studies related to leadership mechanisms within the institution and how they influence employee and patient outcomes. Based on the findings of the studies conducted, the possibility of using the proposed leadership model to improve outcomes will also be gauged. Comment by Nita Stika: What example would you use to demonstrate how this is true? Comment by Nita Stika: Management, observation or as Dr. Z suggests. Comment by Nita Stika: To assess Comment by Nita Stika: Current administrative structure so as to construct a leadership model that includes the most compatible qualities to be adopted?

SMART GOAL
Leadership SMART Goal Leadership goal Setting a goal is important since it really gives clarity to a person’s vision. A goal specifies the outcome of what one wants to accomplish (Jay, 2011). Developing a SMART leadership goal ensures that one’s goal is actually focused and offers a clear idea of what one wants to accomplish. In essence, a goal that is SMART makes it simpler for one to come up with pertinent activities, to measure his or her progress towards accomplishing the goal, and know when he or she has met his/her goal (Jay, 2011). For me, setting a SMART goal will make what I want tangible since I am declaring to myself that this is really what I want. Basically, the SMART goal will help me to focus my everyday energy towards making my dreams and wishes come true. My set goal is SMART in the following way: Specific: Haughey (2014) pointed out that a specific goal has to be focused, detailed, and stated clearly. My goal is specific enough; it is to work in interdisciplinary/interprofessional teams by Week 10 (as selected from the Institute of Medicine (IOM)). In these teams, I should be able to work with other professionals to offering the best care available to transplant patients and help the patients before the transplant, during the transplant, and after. To accomplish this goal, I will greet and introduce myself to various health professionals in the Transplant Services Department so familiarize my self with the department and the transplant of patients and cooperate, collaborate, communicate, and integrate care in teams to ensure that care is continuous and reliable. In the future health care system, health professionals will have to understand the advantage of high levels of cooperation, coordination, and standardization to guarantee excellence, continuity, safety, and reliability. In short, they will have to think of themselves as a team working in and contributing to a larger system. As Don Berwick, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, said at the summit, The team members integrate their observations, bodies of expertise, and spheres of decision making. Thus this competency refers to the various disciplines working together to address the needs of patients. Interdisciplinary teams are critical in dealing with the increasing complexity of care, coordinating and responding to multiple patient needs, keeping pace with the demands of new technology, responding to the demands of payors, and delivering care across settings Teams tend to reduce the utilization of redundant or duplicate services, and they also tend to develop more creative solutions to complex problems because of their members’ diverse academic backgrounds and experience. Patients needing chronic care, critical acute care, geriatric care, and care at the end of life require smooth team functioning because of the complexity of their needs. Different means and settings for delivering care, such as managed care, community-based care, rehabilitation centers,.

Summary of Skills
For the development of an organization to be successful and effectively achieve set goals and objectives, strong management and organization skills will be required (Bateman & Snell, 2007). Our Team A brings a broad spectrum of skills and talents coming from life, educational and work-related experiences. Each member of the team possesses unique skill sets that will bring fresh ideas, techniques and creative solutions to challenges in the development of our consulting firm.
A thorough evaluation of our team member’s skills, suggests that our key strengths lie within teamwork and dedication, creating presentations, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques, communication, research, and observations. With these skills, this team will be able to successfully achieve most tasks necessary in the development of a consulting firm. This team will need to use these skills to collaborate efforts in a cooperative manner to create, plan, develop and accomplish the goals of the consulting firm. This evaluation also portrays a strong dedication to learning and improving which is beneficial in the development of new skills that may be needed.
Most members of our team currently have educational and professional experience that proves an intense desire to improve and advocate change and educate communities to collaborate an effort enhancing the lives of individuals. This desire will effectively promote positive changes both within communities as well as at a societal level. The team’s overall commitment is to meet basic human needs through education, focusing on identification of challenges and prevention, as well as assist in overcoming personal and organizational obstacles that individuals may face. Our team is committed to improving the overall quality of life through advocacy and action.
The first type of consulting firm that we could possibly work with would be a human services/independent living consulting program. This program would collaborate with a client’s care givers, doctors and independent care organizations to assist in facilitating a client’s independence and improve or maintain health. This consulting firm would collaborate efforts to create an independent, long-term care plan that will enhance the develop of daily living skills, educate on services and programs available, exercise the right to make healthy living choices, and encourage pro-active involvement of all care-giving professionals in the pursuit of personal growth, presence, and participation in the long term care process. This program will improve and emphasis respect and dignity through the promotion of independence.
PLEASE ADD THE OTHER TWO TYPES HERE!
The types of problems these consulting firms might solve.
Inflexible regulatory and legal issues create competitive obstacles human services providers face when offering health services to communities.
· Write an executive summary, 4-5 pages in length, of existing out.docxlillie234567
· Write an executive summary, 4-5 pages in length, of existing outcome measures related to a performance issue uncovered in your gap analysis that you intend to address.
Introduction
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
As a nurse leader, you must be able to access, identify, and describe outcome measures as they relate to safety and quality problems in your organization.
This assessment provides an opportunity to examine existing outcome measures, assess their strategic value, and present your findings to executive leaders in a manner that will help you gain their support.
Quality and safety are everyone's responsibility as a team of interprofessional care delivery partners. Together we develop policies that support quality and safe care delivery. As part of the interprofessional team, nurses are leaders in care and thus are responsible and accountable for leading and providing safe quality care.
Health care delivery is structured around evidenced-based information. Quality is defined by exploring proven, evidenced-based information. After reviewing and defining evidenced-based information, the interprofessional team applies this knowledge to assess the organization's or the practice setting's ability to provide evidenced-based care delivery. When a gap in care is identified, it is important to propose an evidenced-based change and to execute a plan for improved care.
Your summary of relevant outcome measures is based on your findings from the quality and safety gap analysis you completed in the previous assessment.
Preparation
Your analysis of the gap between current and desired performance was the first step toward improving outcomes. You now have the information you need to move forward with proposed changes. Your next step is to focus on existing outcome measures and their relationship to the systemic problem you are addressing. For this assessment, you have been asked to draft a summary of existing outcome measures for your organization's executive team to raise awareness of the problem and the strategic value of existing measures.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center's
Writing Supportpage.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
Building stakeholder support is crucial to fostering and sustaining change. Therefore, as you approach this assessment, think about the stakeholders w.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Paper 10.1097/01.NUMA.0000372027.22111.c5.The organizational culture guarantees that
the corporation is prepared to accept change and move on to a different initiative (Milner,
Bradley & Lampley, 2018). The culture of the corporation fosters change because it
influences how change is conveyed throughout the medical staff, making adoption of the
change simpler. The leaders and managers are also capable of scaling up to greater levels of
responsibility in ways that are consistent with the execution of change as a result of their
advocacy for the change. The goal and values of the company are centered on care delivery
via the implementation of evidence-based practices. The corporation also strives to improve
the knowledge of its workers by assisting them with their education and training needs
Organizational Culture Readiness Essay Assignment Paper.Organizational Readiness Tool
and the Level of Readiness for ChangeThe "Organizational Culture and Readiness for
System-Wide Integration of Evidence-Based Practice" assessment tool is used to determine
whether or not an organization was ready for change. The tool assists in examining,
evaluating, and determining whether or not the organization is prepared to execute the
evidence-based practice change (Yoo et al., 2019). The findings of the survey aided in
identifying the strengths, flaws, and obstacles that influence the execution of the EBP and
provided recommendations on measures to enhance the organization's readiness for
change. The findings also demonstrated that medical practitioners must be dedicated,
knowledgeable, and motivated to assist in the implementation of evidence-based practice.
The organizational culture will ensure that evidence-based practice changes are sustained
and supported by motivating medical staff to continue their learning. This will aid them in
gaining a deeper knowledge of the necessity for accepting and implementing change in the
healthcare institution in order to contribute to better patient outcomes. In addition, the
organization has undertaken initiatives to educate its employees about the proposed
3. project in order for them to better comprehend the influence of the EBP change on their
daily lives and work.Strong corporate leadership, as well as enhanced accessibility to
information by clinical staff, are among the strengths that influence EBP adoption. One
problem is a shortage of time to apply the EBP, which is a result of the increasing work
overload for nursing professionals. The inadequate knowledge about the use of EBP among
medical practitioners, as well as the lack of familiarity with the use of the evidence-based
practice, are among the obstacles. Stakeholders and implementers ought to be involved in
the assessment of their readiness for change. Due to the organization's ability to make
optimal use of existing resources in the execution of the EBP project, enough funding is
required Organizational Culture Readiness Essay Assignment Paper.Recommended Health
Care Process and SystemsIn order to increase the organization's efficiency, safety, and
overall value, it is necessary to incorporate clinical information systems (CISs) in its
healthcare systems and processes. As a result, evidence-based and patient-centered
healthcare may be provided more effectively (Marin et al., 2016). These systems offer a
greater opportunity for enhancing legibility, decreasing medical expenses, improving
quality of care, and reducing the avoidable medical spending incurred by the healthcare
organization. The processing, storage, and seamless flow of information within the company
are the primary responsibilities of the CISs. Healthcare system organization is another
system and process that may be used. It contributes to the strengthening of leadership in
resource management as well as the elimination of medical hurdles. Strategies to Facilitate
the Readiness of the Organization BetterThere are some examples of the greatest strategies
that may be used to improve an organization's readiness. They comprise strategies that
reflect the ideal approach in the organization's current condition (Nuño-Solinís, 2018)
Organizational Culture Readiness Essay Assignment Paper. The first step is to recognize the
medical providers who are producing outstanding outcomes in the control of CLABSI in the
NICU population and enlist their assistance. Recognizing these medical professionals will
aid in the knowledge of the approach that is considered best practice. Considering the
resources available in the organization is another strategy. The organization's leadership
and management must guarantee that the EBP is synced to match the resources available.
As a result, the organization's readiness for change will be more easily facilitated.ORDER
YOUR PAPER HEREStakeholders and Team Members for the ProjectThe project's
stakeholders and team members comprise nurse practitioners and physicians, as well as the
government, healthcare insurance firms, and patients. It is the responsibility of nurse
practitioners and physicians to collaborate with other clinicians who are committed to
providing patient care (Morley & Cashell, 2017). The government guarantees that people
have access to inexpensive and high-quality healthcare. As stakeholders, healthcare
insurance companies assume a critical part in ensuring that patients have access to
inexpensive medical care. Patients are end-users of medical services and thus stakeholders.
For the evidence-based project to be successful, integrated care and cooperation are
essential.Information and Communication Technologies NeededIt has been shown that
information and communication technologies (ICTs) used in care delivery may enhance
patient-centered care, empower healthcare practitioners and caregivers, and enhance
healthcare outcomes (Aceto et al. 2018). The usage of smartphones and the apps that are
4. accessible on these devices, as well as electronic health records and telehealth, are
examples of technologies. The application of information and communications technologies
(ICTs) is notoriously difficult as it includes modifications at multiple levels. Primary
stakeholders, like nurses and physicians, are, nonetheless, critical in the implementation of
these systems because they decide the tasks that these systems will do in the provision of
patient care. This enhances the nursing care they provide for NICU patients, as well as their
understanding of evidence-based CLABSI prevention techniques Organizational Culture
